We had a 79 Jeep CJ5 that we bought new in 1978. Sold it a couple years ago. In 2008 we bought a 4WD John Deere Gator and rarely used the Jeep after that. Like mcmurphrjk said the Gator is much more comfortable riding and easier to get in and out. Back in the day the Jeep was a great vehicle for getting into rough country. Today there are better options in my opinion.
